IMPROVEMENT IN NECK-TIE RETAINERS..v

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Batent and making part of the same.

To all whom tt may concern Be it known that I, ELI B. GIBBUD, of Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Gonnecticut, have inventeda new Improvementin Neck- Tie Retainers; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this speciiication, and represent in Figure l, a rear view;

Figure 2, a transverse section; and in Figure 3, a longitudinal section.

This invention relates to an improvement inthe construction of that part of a neck-tie by which the tie is secured to the neck of the wearer, and consists in two pieces of metal cut to the required form of the base ofthe tie, the one slightly larger than the other, and so that the edges of the larger may be turned over the edges of the smaller', the larger being covered with the desired fabric or material, the covering secured by turning the fabricunder the smaller and securing it thereon by the edges of the larger, which are turned over the smaller.

In order to the clear understanding of my invention, I will fully describe the same as illustrated in the'accompauying drawings. v

a is the inside plate.

c, the Outside plate, the outside plate being larger than the inside. 4

The inside plate is punched or provided with an arrangement for securing the-elastic loop A thereto; then a piece of fabric or material required for the covering is cut a little larger than the largest'piece oi' metal and placed over the outside of the larger piece c, as denoted in red figs. 2 and 3, the edges oi' the fabric being turned over the edge Oi' the larger piece c then the inner piece placed thereon and the edges of the metal and covering material turned over and struck down on to the smaller so as to secure all together, as seen in fig. 3. The knot or tie is secured to the covering material in the usual manner.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is

The base of a neck-tie, consisting of the two plates a ande and the covering, all secured together in the manner herein set forth, as an article of manufacture.

E. B. GIBBUD.
